NBA 2012-2013

Spurs winning game 1 doesn't feel like they stole a game, that was a legit win. This could be a really good series.

I think the Spurs can take it in 5.

Bosh had 4 rebounds. Miami is 23-6 when Bosh gets at least 7 rebounds in the playoffs.

4 rebs is pretty good for a person with a vagina. Beats the 2 rebs he had in that one Indiana game.

Great game. I said earlier in the thread that game 1 winner wins the series and wouldn't be shocked to see the Spurs sweep. I don't feel any differently after watching that game. The Heat are in trouble. Give LeBron credit for the 18 boards and 10 assists, but he looked too much like Dallas LeBron for my taste tonight.

I'm just guessing, but I think the Heat win on Sunday by 15. They are too good to just fold.

Duncan was unbelievable. You don't do that at 37 years old.

4th time Heat have lost a Game 1 in the Bosh/James/Wade Era. Heat went on to sweep the next 4 games in each

Not happening this series. But I'm still taking Heat in 6.

I love how he is regularly the first one on D. His swimming arms came in handy with his deflection of LBJs pass. Very impressive considering his age.

Bron is the greatest player on the planet, but he is unselfish to a fault. He's not shooting well but he needs to be more like Kobe than Magic right now.

LeBron gets hammered when he takes too many jumpshots, but if he's going to score big points in this series in this series he will have to start hoisting long range shots with the intention of opening up some driving lanes. It's obvious the Spurs game plan against LeBron is to shut down the drive, forcing him to either facilitate - which he did very well tonight, but won't get it done - or to take long jumpers. He'll need to pick his poison. For all the analyzing we and others have done, this series just became all about LeBron, IMO, and how great he can be, beginning with his scoring.

If Miami does not get more than turnovers per game 12 per game they will get swept.

Feel free to rip my last post to shreds. I am still in a Blackhawks victory high so my judgement may be off but it still feel true.

Bosh had 4 rebounds. Miami is 23-6 when Bosh gets at least 7 rebounds in the playoffs.

That guy is so damn soft.

I'm leaning more towards a sweep than a 7 game series. However I think it'll be Spurs in 5 or 6 right now. Bosh is an extremely soft player, I don't know this guy was an All-Star a few years ago, Wade was decent tonight, not elite. I don't think the Spurs played up to their greatest yet either.

I think if the Heat want to win 3-4 championships, they absolutely need to trade Chris Bosh this offseason or AT least get decent starting center option.

Most people think of Bosh as a superior player to Hibbert, right? Imagine if the Heat had Hibbert instead of Bosh. Yikes.

I'm just shocked that anyone would waste time watching this game instead of the Blackhawks.

That guy is so @#!*% soft.

The contrasting stat is that the Heat are 13-9 in playoff games where Bosh has 6 or fewer rebounds. How absurd is it that a 6'11" player has 22 games in 3 years with 6 or fewer rebounds (and many of those were 4 rebound games) when their team is so small relative to most other teams?

So they've won 79% of their playoff games if he gets 7+ boards, and only 59% if he gets 6 or fewer.
